CUSTOM BUTTONS that look like your forum!

[addamroy]

This MOD will allow you to create custom forum buttons (any text you want, that link anywhere) that look like your forum.

It's a pretty straight forward process, you just need to add an entry to your additional.css template and use the HTML provided to display the button.

Add this to the BOTTOM of your additional.css template.
Admincp > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Your Style-Edit Templates > CSS Templates > Additional.css
.custom_forum_button {
background: {vb:stylevar control_content_background};
_background-image: none;
-moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px {vb:stylevar control_content_shadow_color};
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px {vb:stylevar control_content_shadow_color};
font: {vb:stylevar control_content_font};
color: {vb:stylevar control_content_color};
padding: {vb:stylevar control_content_padding};
border: {vb:stylevar control_content_border};
display:inline-block;
}

Feel free to change .custom_forum_button to something else if you feel the need.

Now to display the button, use the following HTML
<a href="http://yourlinkhere.com/where-ever" class="custom_forum_button">Click my button</a>

Enjoy!

Love it, just what I was looking for!!!

[Manoel J?nior]

Demo, please!

[ProFifaLeagues]

Demo, please!


Not much need for a Demo as each forum would be Different anyway.
Just a very easy way to add in Buttons that look the same as what you have on your site anywhere you need them and add in a link and text as per your needs

Thanks pro for stepping in.

Manoel, if you use the code provided, it's literally just a very simple way to add a button similar to the 'new thread' button at the top left of the show thread pages, except it can contain any text, and link to any destination.

Sorry guys, I forgot the closing </a> tag in the code section in the OP. Fixed it in case any of you who are using this didn't catch that :)

Hi, does anyone know if I can use this on 4.2pl3?

Can I use it as a Buy Now or Download button in a post or does this go in templates somewhere?

[vimarc]

Great modification. This solves my purpose thanks for sharing

[ku-med]

Works great. Thank you!

How come you never include a demo or screenshot with any of your Mods/Addons?

Would be nice, but it is not necessary, only take a couple of seconds to test it out.
